Anyone have any experience with these things. I picked up a box of Superblitz by Hestia. They look like artillery shells but you're supposed to just set them on the ground and up they go. Seems dangerous and unpredictable. Like they're supposed to go straight up but what's the chance of them flying sideways? Could they be put in a mortar?
incidentally, all the writing on the package is either Polish, Romanian or Serbian. Eastern European anyway.

Thanks for the input.

Iv never had any experience with stick less rockets but like you said, they sound unpredictable.
Even those things you set on the ground with the "plastic wings" on the side and they shoot straight up I tend to stay away from for that exact reason. haha

Iv'e had them. Be sure to put them on a solid flat surface. Light fuse and get away!

I have had them & still have some in my "stash". They are from Poland & yes, they may go sideways on you, so be sure to have lots of room & get clear when you light them. Most of the ones I have set off have gone pretty straight up & they have very good height to them & a nice "wallop". Hestia is a good brand--grab them when you can get them.
As for putting them in a tube--NO---you would NOT have time to light it & get it in a tube safely. Have fun with them--they are great little devices--but remember that in this case the "standard warning" on everything DOES apply--"Light Fuse & Get Away"......LOL. Far Away!!!
